I tried to hit a middle ground between roleplay and gameplay for this video concept, so hopefully I pulled it off and you enjoy it!! And if you do, lmk which class you'd like to see next!
I'd love to see a "All jack of all trades" run where every party member multiclasses into a different class every level. In the scope of Act 1, you could have a whole party encompassing every class by level 3.
@@Fracture.Gaming, it probably was .. What happened is that when the goblins attacked, the druids decided to close the grove and get rid of the Tieflings, whom they consider endanger them constantly. If you go down near the prison cell, you can encounter that fight between druids and Tieflings, Nettie and Khaga (nice loot) are there, all of them transforming into bears of you go there and decide to defend the Tieflings. The druids are a hard fight... ( same happens if you steal the Sylvanus Idole, did it by "mistake" in EA)... Also, Arabella gets... interesting in Act 2, so better keep her alive, same for Alfira maybe in Baldur's Gate? Halsin would forgive you though, putting it on Khaga..and himself for giving her the position.
yeah I agree with the reloading.. clearly them getting upset over you 'looting' the foes you killed is annoying. But maybe you can try looting the bodies after the 'mission' is over or maybe try keeping one mook goblin alive and just looting the bodies before ending the fight.
Warlock: I figure I sell enough of my soul to enough powers, when I die, while they fight over my soul, I steal my own soul back. What could go wrong. Paladin: WTF.... Warlock: indeed, it is a perfect plan.
After watching a video of 4 gnome barbarians with no commentary earlier, I came into this expecting something similar for some reason. Having character reasoning and RP and a nice narration to listen to is a great change of pace that I adore. Subbed for sure.
I’m really glad you liked it! I was honestly having a lot of doubts about this video concept, I tried to hit a middle ground between roleplay and gameplay and was worried I was just missing the mark on both…
@@Fracture.Gaming Ditto on this also. This is tons more fun and entertaining than just watching a play through. I'm curious to see where you will go! Subbed and waiting!
Since both the camp going hostile on you, and alfira dying were due to bad game code and NOT the result of your actions, (looting the drow counting as stealing even though she's a hostile creature, and alfira dying when zevlor was killed) you should be allowed to reload and have a chance to redo that.
Backstory: Pinky decided to make a deal with a demon to gain immense power, however every demon was busy and so she was sent to the waiting room While in the waiting room she met 3 other people who were also there to make deals They were friends ever since
Firstly, I applaud your ingenuity with the fights, and your commitment to roleplaying these characters. Secondly, I think it's totally okay to load a previous save when the game breaks and saddles you with unfair consequences you couldn't possibly have predicted.
Honestly this just makes me want to see the inverse of this like a full party of evil wizards just to see what ridiculous level of cheese is here especially on more morally questionable levels
@@matheusbravo3758 It isn't savescumming if it's due to a bug. They shouldn't have been able to see him looting the bodies in the first place. They wouldn't have done anything about it if they had, he just saved their life. And finally, the main reason for the reload is literally a bug involving Zevlor.
@@C00kiesAplenty Yeah, even If someone helped me kill some goblins that were trying to invade my settlement, i'd be pretty pissed If they tried to loot my dead friend, this happens because he tried to loot a Friendly NPC that died, not because of a bug, and reloading because you got caught comitting a crime is the DEFINITION OF savescumming
@@matheusbravo3758 You would be pissed, you wouldn't try to kill them. And given the fire and explosions that happened you could easily argue that you didnt recognise which body was friend or foe. He didn't reload because he got caught stealing, its because that bard lady (along with all the tiefling kids) died when he killed Zevlor. WHICH IS A BUG.
I love the ENTIRE concept of this video! Honestly, I wouldn't mind if you made an entire series out of this, wherein you choose different concepts (Like all bards, all wizards, all barbarians, all druids, etc) and roleplayed with them! It's such a WHIMSICAL and fun take on Baldur's Gate! An amazing mixture of _true fantasy_ and RolePlay~! MWAH MWAH MWAH!!! Good work, great work!!!
The plan was if people liked it I would do the same concept with each class, or at least a lot of them. I’m trying to post a bunch of different concept of videos right now so I can see what people like about each of them and lean into it more!
Fun fact about the skellies right outside withers' sarcophagus, You can actually run around and loot all (I think) of their weapons before they revive, which I thought was hilarious but I didn't manage to loot them all before going for the back room so I had to continue the fight once my friends arrived to help, but it made it so much easier
It doesn't even need to be Hirelings. You can just reset the premade characters with Withers for 100g each, it resets their basic class and you can adjust their stats and spells accordingly. They have some interesting special interactions for being different classes than normal too.
Yes you can do that, but this doesn't work if you want to make them into warlocks. Respeccing into Warlock causes a bug and as you gain higher level spells, lower level spells slots will become unavailable. So at level 6 or 7, you'll only have 2 lvl 4 spell slots available - and nothing else. Hope they fix that.
@@Kxadd But the two spell slots are a feature, though. It's a kind of nerfing system because warlocks can fully refill their spell slots with short rests, paired with their damage mostly coming from Elder Blast (which is OP with the right feats). On the other side, sorcerers and wizards can't refill their slots on short rests, but instead they get a bunch of spell slots with coresponding levels instead.
Ah, good to know Zevlor dying triggers mass-death in the grove. Something similar happens in Act 2 if you complete Shadowhearts quest-thing there before going to Moonrise; it auto-kills a bunch of NPCs. Not my fave, so yeah, heads-up. Definitely keep up the play-through. Give Jack another chance at happiness, and if his bard-crush dies later (again) you can play it as he had a prophetic nightmare about her.
@@Dorumin Dammon is the only reason they're alive in my playthrough too. After Jaheira decided that I shouldn't even have a say in what happens, she attacked me and I ended up killing them all. Had to reload for Dammon.
@@shine6465 In my playthrough I did reload, however I still killed everyone else and knocked out Dammon. Long rested and did a speech check to make sure he was ok and he fixed Karlach up :D In my tactician run I'm going to spare them, though I'm gonna kill nightsong and let shadowheart become edgelord supreme
man i love how you described everything and even had little stories for the custom characters as they went by, it's all so nicely edited that it's a breeze to watch
As someone who has played a good amount of warlock in 5e, you did very well on parry composition with the limited subclass options. You could have your tank take a two point dip into fighter for heavy armor and action surge too.
The agro from friendlies for 'stealing' is crazy, ive had the grove accuse me of stealing when i didn't even steal anything. Oh and they accused me when i was 100M away from them, stealthed and invisible. Seems to be bugged.
Very entertaining and enjoyable video. Some really funny moments and also some wonderful "outside of the box" solutions to combat. While I am only mid way through act 2 myself, your video has given me reason to want to replay all over again once I'm finished. Subscribed in hope to see more of your 4 warlock team adventures. Oh and I say just go with leaving Alfira deceased... I reckon a revenge driven Jack would make for an interesting side story.
Man, they straight up JUMPED you. You didn't steal shit! They were just mad that you were taking the loot that was RIGHTFULLY yours for yourself. Fuck 'em. I know it hurts Jack now, but one day I hope he'll understand that THEY turned on HIM.
This was entertaining. I haven't even grasped the full concept of doing what you just did in my playthrough of BG3 so I commend you for doing all of this.
Insane role play, this was so entertaining to watch. I even envy of how much creative and at the same time effective you are in this walkthrough, perfectly aligning the knowledge about party building. I am new to classic RPGs, having fun with this game, but can't pull most of what I would want to, feeling kinda bruteforcing the game.
Not being able to loot the bodies of the enemies that attacked a settlement because that counts as stealing from the settlement sounds like a Bethesda moment
Oh shit me and two friends did the same thing, one of us is a warlock/fighter, one is sorlock, one is a warlock/rogue. Been lots of fun! We call ourselves the 'Pact Tactics' and make every npc have at least one warlock level lol
as for me. Jack had a cruel childhood so Alfira's death should be something for him that will turn him on the dark side and start hurting others and putting himself in the shoes of the guy who used to hurt him.
I didn't think you'd actually kill Zevlor xD I think it's fine to reload here since it's stupid that they attack you for "stealing" when in fact you saved them. Loved the back story for each warlock, it made the video more interesting
Same exact crap happened to me, but the kids lived. I sent the girl home to her parents but was very annoyed with the attitudes of these Druids. Then the "leader" talks down to me because I'm Drow and gets that wrong too. I had enough of Gale telling me to put my weapon away and she died right there on the spot. Wasn't much for me to fight after that, the Tieflings outside pretty much mopped up the rest of the Druids with a few casualties. I kept getting warnings about looting the bodies so I just went stealth, and knocked out anyone I needed to so I could loot bodies. I'm omw to stop the Goblins now but got sidetracked in a spider's lair.
Fun fact, you can look the skeleton corpses, and doing so will remove their weapons, which is really useful on the melee skeleton as he'll be limited to doing only 1 damage
This is fantastic and now I need the full story and lore of the band of Eldrich misfits 😂 I hope you continue or try exploring different chaotic builds! Your commentary was awesome!
This is a video every new baldurs gate or turn based rpg in general should watch. This is literally THE best combat tutorial video even though that’s not what it is. Setting up traps out of whatever you can and picking up things like barrels in your inventory to use later to make barricades is the name of the game lol. Hell, I never even would have thought of the nautilid tanks until seeing this.
Thanks for a very enjoyable video! I love the mix between strategy and backstory to your characters, you are a very good story teller! This is how this game should be presented! I would love to see how this story unfolds.
Another thing don’t know how many discovered this, but you can poison the grog at the goblin camp, pop a invisibility potion take the wyvern poison you get from the druids and put it into their drink go away for a little while, and come back to bunch of dead goblins
In an actual D&D game we ran did the Baldurs Gate: Descent into Avernus campaign and 3 out of 4 of us picked Warlock, 2 of the 3 even picked the same subclass
2:39 *OR* you could have skipped all this and walked down the path along side of the temple, discovered the trap door at the end of the path and entered the lower temple from this location. Once in here, barricade yourself inside of Wither's burial room and pick off the skeletons as the approach one by one.
That was an amazing immersive video, i like that you roleplay your actions, and i would definely want the game to go your way in terms of story, great work, you deserve the best man,waiting for part two, just F8 haha
Haha yeah I am planning on doing it for more classes than just Warlocks. Possibly all the classes but we'll see. It'll literally take me years to do all of them if that's what ends up happening... but that sounds fine to me
Maybe I'll just do a little looting... But also, the only save I did after that fight was after Zevlor & friends were chasing Pinky. But I can still escape or let them kill Pinky and they'll be friendly again.
This is awesome! I feel like in cases like this, where game mechanics do weird stuff like not letting you loot the raiding party you killed, you should be allowed to reload the save, as it doesn’t violate the integrity of the game since your character shouldn’t have been in that situation to begin with:
Omg you should make this a series doing different classes, always from the beginning... But Jack is "Day of Tomorrow"ing it, and remembers he's searching for his love every time! Sooooo gooood. Also, you made a FANTASTIC video. I absolutely loved watching this. It felt like watching four separate players, but faster and less chaotic lol. Well done!
i found your content a few days ago and im amazed by the quality. well done, keep it up! And yes, save scum the battle! Love is forever, saves are not.
fam I was unironically tempted to do this. Not even as a challenge. - fiend pact plus false life means everyone gets a steady supply of temporary hit points, every short spell refills everyone's HP, can make a pact of the blade tank and three pact of the chain damage dealers with supporting imps, take high damage AOE spells and stuff like Hold Person, use mainly scrolls and items for utility spells like Knock or Misty Step... like it sounds unironically good.
this was pretty nice, and being a dmg munchkin and a coward it was pretty nice to see a team of wildly different warlocks, although it would've been funny if all of them took repelling blast and everything got yeeted into the abyss thanks for the video!
I love this video! Please continue this series! I am torn... part of me wants you to go back and not kill Zevlor... but... it does make for tasty storytelling for Jack's story...
Absolutely loved this, Mix of Cheese, the amazing roleplay, and combat all mixed perfectly. Very good video and commentary as well If you plan on doing more you have my full support, watched a couple other videos and subbed now
Rewind, the whole stealing thing is a bug that Larion still hasn't been able to squash and you looting their corpses should not be a crime in the eyes of the druids, considering the "owners" of those corpses are the goblin camp faction.
I had no new vids to watch in my sub tab, so I went exploring. Because you can't simply have a dinner in freaking silence! So I saw this pop up in my recommended vids and at first I was apprehensive. 4 warlocks? That can't be right. Where the fun it that? BOY WAS I WRONG! Liked, subbed, waiting for more! This is how you freaking roleplay!
I mean, warlock is so customisable that you can play four warlocks and they will be different enough from one another. One can pick all the social invocations (proficiency in deception etc) and disguise self and be party's face. Another can pick pact of the blade and be a pseudo-paladin with hex and smite. Third one can pick something like "thief of five fates" and debuff enemies with Bane, etc. Playing a warlock is a bit like playing cleric, in a sense that it kinda tells your DM that you picked something but until finer details would become visible, you basically picked a dark horse.
2:57 before those undead comes alive, you can loot their items thus depriving them of their weapons this makes the warrior one use fist which is significantly weaker than a blade, but the scribes will still use magic but once you close the gap their melee will be weaker than the warrior (this is just a tip to deal with undeads that was laying on the ground before the fight starts) (I just realized something, we can pickpocket npc's that mean we can take their weapon, which means 1 person can start a dialogue then another can sneak then pickpocket them before the fight starts thus reducing their combat effectiveness if they're archer/melee type enemies, silenced spell can be a counter for mages but that means you need to be real close to them so when they try to run out of the silenced zone. You smack them from behind)
I haven’t tried it, but is reverse pickpocketing in BG3? I was wondering if I could encumber an enemy by dumping a bunch of shit on them so they can’t move…
As a victim of the World War bug, I say you definitely deserve a reload for this compelling tale I accepted mine though since that character was based off an evil DND character of mine known for causing 3 continental wars within 2 years.
You couldn’t get hirelings because you need to have recruited at least 1 companion first, just find one, grab them and drop them at the camp or kill them
@@Fracture.Gaming did you know you actually don’t have to go get wither either, he’ll just show up at your camp if you bum rush the goblin camp, which is easier than clearing the ruins solo, because you don’t have to fight anything if you pass the true soul checks
Dear Larian and modders! Please give us an option to disable the camera snapping and auto zooming out when making a ranged action in combat, and to disable the camera jumping to a character when I press F1 - F4. It should only jump to them when I double press it. Thank you!
First off, loved the video as not only as a dnd play but as a dm as well for the rp reasons for each character. Haven't really seen anyone purposefully split groups like this for in character reasons so this is a very nice change of pace so you got a sub from me. Secondly yeah jack deserves to stay with his love, fate made an oopsy and needs to rewind like in most of the sessions I dm lol. Anyway keep up the amazing work and can't wait to see what you have instore for us.
This makes me realise how OP a party of warlocks are, especially if they all had Devil's Sight and Darkness. You can bathe the whole battlefield in darkness, for advantage on all of your attacks, and the enemy has disadvantage on all of their attacks.
I'm so happy that this game will allow for a whole new era of meme strats and videos ❤ I'm hoping to do a bard run someday where my MC recruits the origin characters into a band which then causes them to also respec bard 😂
It's weird because in my playthrough Zevlor died in the battle against the goblins but we still won overall. The camp didn't get wrecked though - Alvira is still alive for me. It might be because he had to slaughter the entire defending force and all of them dying triggers the 'goblin raid consequences' because that should only happen if the goblins win?. It was also a little weird in act 2 people were talking about Zevlor like he was still alive lol but I knew the truth.
This is my favorite game rn! I love what you can do in it and how you can either be playful or super serious aswell! I have encountered a lot of weird bugs like dialogue options not showing up or npcs instantly attacking with double triggering in a party but even with those things being annoying sometimes and newrly run ending, this has been by far the most fun ive had in a game in a while!!! I just save newrly every room now😂
Everyone talks about the machine gun warlock, but nobody talks about the perfect stealth rogue warlock. Just stay in stealth and you can blast eldritch blast as many times as you need until everything is dead 🤣
The issue with the looting is probably that you looted the body of one of the tieflings who died in the battle, and they're associated with the grove settlement in the game's code so taking from their corpse is considered stealing (Where, say, when you defeat the goblins, it should flag the goblin faction as no longer active, taking items from their corpses is no longer considered theft.)
I tried to hit a middle ground between roleplay and gameplay for this video concept, so hopefully I pulled it off and you enjoy it!! And if you do, lmk which class you'd like to see next!
I'd love to see a "All jack of all trades" run where every party member multiclasses into a different class every level. In the scope of Act 1, you could have a whole party encompassing every class by level 3.
A Run with 4 Wild Magic Sorcs coul be really funny and very chaotic.

4 Barbarians! Flinging and throwing enemies left and right and screaming all enemies into submission

Yeah I lost my cool big time. I just can’t believe it happened twice, when both times nobody was actually there to witness it.
Same exact crap happened to me, but the kids lived. I sent the girl home to her parents but was very annoyed with the attitudes of these Druids. Then the "leader" talks down to me because I'm Drow and gets that wrong too. I had enough of Gale telling me to put my weapon away and she died right there on the spot. Wasn't much for me to fight after that, the Tieflings outside pretty much mopped up the rest of the Druids with a few casualties. I kept getting warnings about looting the bodies so I just went stealth, and knocked out anyone I needed to so I could loot bodies. I'm omw to stop the Goblins now but got sidetracked in a spider's lair.
very clever. love the content, man. the backstories, your techniques- very good stuff.
Fun fact, you can look the skeleton corpses, and doing so will remove their weapons, which is really useful on the melee skeleton as he'll be limited to doing only 1 damage
This is an incredible playthrough and it's only half an hour so far. Please continue. (And reload.)
You can steal the weapons from the skeletons guarding withers ahead of time too
This is fantastic and now I need the full story and lore of the band of Eldrich misfits 😂
I hope you continue or try exploring different chaotic builds!
Your commentary was awesome!
Love the backstories for each character! Hope we see more videos like this!
I’m loving your BG3 videos, the role play/gameplay mix you have is very fun and entertaining. Keep it up!
Actually love the mix of rp and actually playing the game here. Actually invested in the characters and reccomend you go back before Jack gets too sad
Why does no one love Minthara 😭
This is a video every new baldurs gate or turn based rpg in general should watch. This is literally THE best combat tutorial video even though that’s not what it is. Setting up traps out of whatever you can and picking up things like barrels in your inventory to use later to make barricades is the name of the game lol. Hell, I never even would have thought of the nautilid tanks until seeing this.
Thanks for a very enjoyable video! I love the mix between strategy and backstory to your characters, you are a very good story teller! This is how this game should be presented! I would love to see how this story unfolds.
Another thing don’t know how many discovered this, but you can poison the grog at the goblin camp, pop a invisibility potion take the wyvern poison you get from the druids and put it into their drink go away for a little while, and come back to bunch of dead goblins
In an actual D&D game we ran did the Baldurs Gate: Descent into Avernus campaign and 3 out of 4 of us picked Warlock, 2 of the 3 even picked the same subclass
Lmao, eldritch blasts constantly
the skeletons around withers can also have all their weapons taken off their bodies
2:39 *OR* you could have skipped all this and walked down the path along side of the temple, discovered the trap door at the end of the path and entered the lower temple from this location. Once in here, barricade yourself inside of Wither's burial room and pick off the skeletons as the approach one by one.
That was an amazing immersive video, i like that you roleplay your actions, and i would definely want the game to go your way in terms of story, great work, you deserve the best man,waiting for part two, just F8 haha
i really hope we get a BUT YOU ALL PICKED _____... series, this was great. 4 barbs throwing goblins to each other then off a cliff would be hilarious
Haha yeah I am planning on doing it for more classes than just Warlocks. Possibly all the classes but we'll see. It'll literally take me years to do all of them if that's what ends up happening... but that sounds fine to me
Reload, don't kill zevlor, wait to loot until tieflings gone
Maybe I'll just do a little looting...
But also, the only save I did after that fight was after Zevlor & friends were chasing Pinky. But I can still escape or let them kill Pinky and they'll be friendly again.
@@Fracture.Gaming ngl I've done that myself. Run away, flee combat, everyone pretends it never happened lol
@@Fracture.Gaming If you do, couch first. Being in stealth will just help make sure they do not actually see you.
This is awesome! I feel like in cases like this, where game mechanics do weird stuff like not letting you loot the raiding party you killed, you should be allowed to reload the save, as it doesn’t violate the integrity of the game since your character shouldn’t have been in that situation to begin with:
Omg you should make this a series doing different classes, always from the beginning... But Jack is "Day of Tomorrow"ing it, and remembers he's searching for his love every time! Sooooo gooood.
Also, you made a FANTASTIC video. I absolutely loved watching this. It felt like watching four separate players, but faster and less chaotic lol. Well done!
i found your content a few days ago and im amazed by the quality. well done, keep it up! And yes, save scum the battle! Love is forever, saves are not.
fam I was unironically tempted to do this. Not even as a challenge. - fiend pact plus false life means everyone gets a steady supply of temporary hit points, every short spell refills everyone's HP, can make a pact of the blade tank and three pact of the chain damage dealers with supporting imps, take high damage AOE spells and stuff like Hold Person, use mainly scrolls and items for utility spells like Knock or Misty Step... like it sounds unironically good.
this was pretty nice, and being a dmg munchkin and a coward it was pretty nice to see a team of wildly different warlocks, although it would've been funny if all of them took repelling blast and everything got yeeted into the abyss
thanks for the video!
I love this video! Please continue this series! I am torn... part of me wants you to go back and not kill Zevlor... but... it does make for tasty storytelling for Jack's story...
How can each video be so enjoyable, man I love your scripts your videos are so well structured and well written ^^
I love the balance of roleplay and gameplay in this one, it's really fun!
I think this should drive jack into speaking with Withers to help him become a necromancer instead of a bard to try and bring back his love.
Absolutely loved this,
Mix of Cheese, the amazing roleplay, and combat all mixed perfectly. Very good video and commentary as well
If you plan on doing more you have my full support, watched a couple other videos and subbed now
I’m a week behind on comments, but I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! Part 2 is coming up fairly soon, hopefully 2-3 days? No promises 😅
A warlock’s journey is full of false hood and nightmare. It could be jack saw the horror of what could have been
The fact you made lore for all of them was *chef's kiss*
What the hell i got so invested with this series you cant end it yet you can just save scam it
Rewind, the whole stealing thing is a bug that Larion still hasn't been able to squash and you looting their corpses should not be a crime in the eyes of the druids, considering the "owners" of those corpses are the goblin camp faction.
Hirelings : find withers, long rest so he is in your camp. Then, long rest again. After that he'll offer hirelings.
I had no new vids to watch in my sub tab, so I went exploring. Because you can't simply have a dinner in freaking silence!
So I saw this pop up in my recommended vids and at first I was apprehensive. 4 warlocks? That can't be right. Where the fun it that?
BOY WAS I WRONG!
Liked, subbed, waiting for more! This is how you freaking roleplay!
Jacks dips into 1lvl of Oath of Vengeance paladin, killing every goblin, drow, spider, and tiefling on sight lol
Fracture: I'm gonna use every strategy, fair or not
Also fracture: ***doesn't take agonizing blast, Devils sight, or repelling blast***
I mean, warlock is so customisable that you can play four warlocks and they will be different enough from one another.
One can pick all the social invocations (proficiency in deception etc) and disguise self and be party's face. Another can pick pact of the blade and be a pseudo-paladin with hex and smite. Third one can pick something like "thief of five fates" and debuff enemies with Bane, etc.
Playing a warlock is a bit like playing cleric, in a sense that it kinda tells your DM that you picked something but until finer details would become visible, you basically picked a dark horse.
I never actually saw fight gameplay until this video and that bomb trap at the beginning made me lose my mind that was actually so cool
I really enjoyed this, you struck a pretty good balance and kept it interesting with both RP and abusing mechanics. Worth a sub for sure
I'd love to see more of this series! Makes me want to try out warlock whenever I end up buying the game.
I was working on this one today! Still be a while before the next part is done tho
i loved the rp in this! i watch a lot of challenge videos of BG, but i definitely love the ones with some rp the most! great job
Great story telling. Lets go with Punished Jack the Bard out for revenge?
2:57 before those undead comes alive, you can loot their items thus depriving them of their weapons
this makes the warrior one use fist which is significantly weaker than a blade,
but the scribes will still use magic but once you close the gap their melee will be weaker than the warrior
(this is just a tip to deal with undeads that was laying on the ground before the fight starts)
(I just realized something, we can pickpocket npc's that mean we can take their weapon, which means 1 person can start a dialogue then another can sneak then pickpocket them before the fight starts thus reducing their combat effectiveness if they're archer/melee type enemies, silenced spell can be a counter for mages but that means you need to be real close to them so when they try to run out of the silenced zone. You smack them from behind)
I haven’t tried it, but is reverse pickpocketing in BG3? I was wondering if I could encumber an enemy by dumping a bunch of shit on them so they can’t move…
Jack becomes a bard that writes sad power ballads about alfira and has a dark character arc.
Either way, great video and i am keen to see more
Having just got into Baldurs gate and DND after wanting to for so long, you completely inspire me to be so creative with my turns
As a victim of the World War bug, I say you definitely deserve a reload for this compelling tale
I accepted mine though since that character was based off an evil DND character of mine known for causing 3 continental wars within 2 years.
the funny thing about asking "can I" is that the answer most often than not is *Yes* if you have enough will to make it happen.
You couldn’t get hirelings because you need to have recruited at least 1 companion first, just find one, grab them and drop them at the camp or kill them
That’s really good to know, thank you :)
@@Fracture.Gaming did you know you actually don’t have to go get wither either, he’ll just show up at your camp if you bum rush the goblin camp, which is easier than clearing the ruins solo, because you don’t have to fight anything if you pass the true soul checks
Dear Larian and modders! Please give us an option to disable the camera snapping and auto zooming out when making a ranged action in combat, and to disable the camera jumping to a character when I press F1 - F4. It should only jump to them when I double press it. Thank you!
I came for the fun monoclass party comp and stayed for the well executed role play and story telling.
First off, loved the video as not only as a dnd play but as a dm as well for the rp reasons for each character. Haven't really seen anyone purposefully split groups like this for in character reasons so this is a very nice change of pace so you got a sub from me. Secondly yeah jack deserves to stay with his love, fate made an oopsy and needs to rewind like in most of the sessions I dm lol. Anyway keep up the amazing work and can't wait to see what you have instore for us.
This makes me realise how OP a party of warlocks are, especially if they all had Devil's Sight and Darkness. You can bathe the whole battlefield in darkness, for advantage on all of your attacks, and the enemy has disadvantage on all of their attacks.
I'm so happy that this game will allow for a whole new era of meme strats and videos ❤ I'm hoping to do a bard run someday where my MC recruits the origin characters into a band which then causes them to also respec bard 😂
Holy F*** you can have how many mage hands out at once? That is OP and hilarious
I had a full party of warlocks. Gave them all hand crossbows, sharpshooter and devil sight. Sit in your darkness and eliminate everything.
It's weird because in my playthrough Zevlor died in the battle against the goblins but we still won overall. The camp didn't get wrecked though - Alvira is still alive for me.
It might be because he had to slaughter the entire defending force and all of them dying triggers the 'goblin raid consequences' because that should only happen if the goblins win?.
It was also a little weird in act 2 people were talking about Zevlor like he was still alive lol but I knew the truth.
Crazy the different ways to play the game. Ive found secrets that i look up and people still dont know about its insane.
Warlocks with fully boosted eldritch blast is op.
This is my favorite game rn! I love what you can do in it and how you can either be playful or super serious aswell! I have encountered a lot of weird bugs like dialogue options not showing up or npcs instantly attacking with double triggering in a party but even with those things being annoying sometimes and newrly run ending, this has been by far the most fun ive had in a game in a while!!! I just save newrly every room now😂
that's definitely one of the best - and funniest - ideas I've seen, loved the video. i think jack deserves to have his loved one back to life.
Lefthanded Wand Emporium, lol sounds like an adult toy store.
Your backstory RP for your characters is funny AF.
Yeah, fun fact, you can only recruit hirelings after getting party members... i dont know how many, but i think you need only one companion.
This game is fucking amazing....I hadn't thought to drow my way into the goblin camp.
Everyone talks about the machine gun warlock, but nobody talks about the perfect stealth rogue warlock. Just stay in stealth and you can blast eldritch blast as many times as you need until everything is dead 🤣
I would definitely be up for a series with different classes, I loved this video. Warlock 4 life✊🏻
The issue with the looting is probably that you looted the body of one of the tieflings who died in the battle, and they're associated with the grove settlement in the game's code so taking from their corpse is considered stealing (Where, say, when you defeat the goblins, it should flag the goblin faction as no longer active, taking items from their corpses is no longer considered theft.)
i cant believe you dont have more subscribers but im really glad youre getting good views on these recent videos. great work
Imagine if all warlock subclasses and patron options were available...
Warlocks only would be extremely powerful.
A reload sets up Jack to become a paladin for his oath of devotion towards Alfira.
